Blue Whale Surprises Reporter on Live TV

A reporter for the U.K.’s BBC One got very excited when a massive blue
whale appeared in his live shot while he was interviewing an expert aboard a
boat in Monterey
Bay's National Marine Sanctuary in California Monday. The surprised reporter,
Steve Backshall, interrupted whale expert Dorris Welch as soon as he heard
about the whale’s presence. “Oh, I’m so, so sorry! I don’t believe I’ve just
heard — this is incredible — I’ve heard word that we have on our helicopter
[camera] a blue whale! It is to the south of us absolutely clearly, I can see
it now, the largest animal ever to have lived on our planet,” Backshall
exclaimed. He went on to enthusiastically describe the endangered whales’
plight and the efforts to help them recover. — Learn more at NBC
